DIT J.JL U PHOENIX. ARIZONA, SATURDAY MOENIlIGr, APRIL 4, 1903. VOL. XIII. NO. 323 THIRTEENTH YEAE. THE AM 13 O BJL1CA.N AI2 A MILWAUKEE BANQUET TO THE PRES He Talks to Merchants and Manufacturers About the Trusts. The Ills Which Followed in Their Train May Have Been Offset by Good, but at Any Rate They Can Be Remedied The Last Congress Took a Long Step in That Direction, in Anti Trust Legislation and in Making Badly Needed Repairs in the Interstate Commerce Law. Milwaukee, Wis., April 3. President Roosevelt was the guest of the Milwaukee Merchants and Manufacturers' association at a banquet at the Plank-ington house tonight, the occasion being the climax of the president's ten hours' visit to Milwaukee. Covers were laid for 530 representative citizens. A corps of skilled decorators had worked out a complete transformation of the banquet room which was fairly canopied with Alabama smilax rising from twelve chandeliers and, spreading out in graceful arches, met in all parts oi the room. Lines of asparagus vines trailed-from chandelier to chandelier In all directions, supporting at regular intervals fern balls filled with American Beauty roses, carnations and other beautiful blossoms. A thousand electric lights lent enchanting beauty to the room. At the president's immediate right sat United States Senator Quarles. while E. W. Wadhams, president of the Milwaukee Merchants and Manufacturers' association and toastmaster of the occasion, was seated at his left. Extending in opposite directions from the president's table were twelve other tables at which members of the Merchants and Manufacturers' association and their friends were seated. After the banquet had been served Toast-master Wadhams introduced President Roosevelt, who responded to the toast. "The President of the United States." The president took this occasion to give his views to the subject of trusts. Senator Quarles responded to the toast, "Our Guest." Mayor David S. Rose responded to the toast, "The City of Milwaukee." In his address on "The Trusts" the president said: "Mr. Toastmaster, Gentlemen: "Today I wish to speak to you on the question of the control and regulation of those great corporations which art popularly, although rather vasuely, known as trusts: dealing mostly with what has actually been accomplished in the way of legislation and in the enforcement of legislation during the past eighteen months, the period covering the two sessions of the Fifty-seventh congress. At the ou'sec 1 shall ask you to remember that 1 r.. r.ot approach the subject etiher froiv the stand point of those who speak of themselves as anti-trust oranti-corporation people, nor yet from the standpoint of those who are fonl I denying the existence of evils in the trusts, or who apparently proceed lpon the assumption that if a corporation is large enough it can do no wrong. "I think I speak for the great majority of the American people wheu I say that we are not in the least against wealth as Mich, whether individual or corporate: that we merely desire to fee any abuse of corporate or combined wealth corrected and remedied; that v."e do not' oesire the abolition or destruction of big corporations, but, cn the contrary, recognize them as bIng in many cases efficient economic in struments, the results of an inevitable process of economic evolution, and cnly desire to see them regulated and ton- trolled so far as may be necessary for the public good. We should be false to the historic principles of our government if we discriminated, either by legislation or administration, either for or against a man because of either his wealth or1 his poverty. There is no proper place in our society either for the rich man who uses the power eon-fered by his riches to enable him to oppress and wrong his neighbors, nor yet for the demagogic agitator who, instead of attacking abuses asall abuses should be attacked wherever found, attacks men of wealth, as such, whether they be good or bad, attacks corporations whether they do well or ill. and seeks in a spirit of ignorant rancor, to overthrow the very foundations upon which rest our national well-being. THE ORIGIN OF TRUSTS. "In consequence of the extraordinary industrial changes of the last half VI5IT THE OSTRICH FARM and Feather Salesroom Located in Capitol Addition at end of Washington St. Car Line?.

See the beautiful display of Plumes, Boas, Fans and Novelties in the Salesroom at Pro ducer's Prices. century, and notably of the last two cr three decades, changes due mainly to the rapidity and complexity of our- industrial growth, we are confronted with problems which in their present shape were unknown to our forefathers. Our great prosperity, with its accompanying concentration of population and of wealth, its extreme specialization of faculties, and its development of giant Industrial leaders, has brought much good and some evil, and It is as foolish to ignore the good as willfully to blind ourselves to the evil. "The evil has been partly the inevi table' accompaniment of the social changes, and where this is the case it can be cured neither by law nor by the administration of the law, the only remedy lying in the slow change of economic environment. But for a portion of the evil, at least, we think that remedies can be found. We know well the danger of false remedies, and we are against all violent, radical, and unwise change. Rut we believe that by proceeding slowly, yet resolutely, with good sense and moderation, and also with a firm determination not to be swerved from our course either by foolish clamor or by any base or sinister influence, we can accomplish much for the betterment of conditions. Nearly two years ago, speaking a; the state fair in Minnesota, I said: " 'It is probably true that the large majority of the fortunes that now exist in this country have been amassed, not by injuring our people, but as an incident to the conferring of great benefits upon the community, and this, r.o matter what may have been the conscious purpose of those amassing them. There is but the scantiest justification for most of the outers' against the men of wealth as such; and it ought to be unnecessary to state that any appeal which directly or indirectly leads to suspicion and hatred among ourselves, which tends to limit opportunity, and therefore to shut the door cf success against poor men of talent, and, finally, which entails the possibility of lawlessness and violence, is an attack upon the fundamental properties of American citizenship. Our Interests are at bottom common; in the long run we go up or down together. Yet more and more it is evident that the state, and if necessary the nation, has got to possess the right of sup-ervi?ion arid control as regards the great corporations which are its creatures; particularly as regards the great business combinations which derive a portion of their importance from the existence of some monopolistic tendency. The risht should be exercised with caution and self-restraint; but it should exist, so that it may be invoked if the need arises.' THE ONLY REMEDY. "Last fall in speaking at Cincinnati. I said: " 'The necessary supervision and control, in which I firmly believe as the only method of eliminating the real evils of the trusts, must come through wisely and cautiously framed legislation, which shall aim in the first place to give dehnite control to some sover eign over the great corporations, and which shall be followed, when once this power has been conferred, by a system giving to the government the full knowledge which is the essential for satisfactory action. Then, when this knowledge one of the essential features of which is proper publicity has been gained, whai further stops of any kind are necessary can be taken with the confidence born of the possession of power to deal with the subject, and a thorough knowledge of what should and can be done in the matter. We need additional power, and we need knowledge. Such legislation whether obtainable only after a constitutional amendment should provide for a reasonable supervision, the most prominent feature of which at first should be publicity; that is, the making public-, both to the government authorities and to the people at large, the essential facts in which the public-is concerned. This would give us exact knowledge of many points which are now not only in doubt but the subject of herce controversy. r.ioreuve-r, the mere fact of the publication would ! cure some verv crave evils lYn- tho light of day is a deterrent to wrong doing. It would doubtless disclose other evils with which, for the tint being, we could devise no way to grapple. Finally, it would disclose others which cculd be grappled with and cured by further legislative action." "In my message to congress for 1901, I said: SUPERVISION. " 'In the interest of the whole people the nation should, without interfering with the power of the states in the matter, itself also assume power of supervision and regulation .over all corporations doing and interstate business.'"The views thus expressed have now received effect by the wise, conservative, and yet far-reaching legislation enacted by congress at its last session "In its wisdom congress enacted the very important law providing a department of commerce and labor, and further providing therein under the secretary of commerce and labor for a commissioner of corporations, charged with the duty and supervision cf and of making intelligent investigation into the organization and conduct of corporations engaged in interstate commerce. His powers to expose illegal cr hurtful practices and to obtain all information neadful for the purposes of further intelligent legislation seem adequate: and the publicity justifiable and proper for public purposes is satisfactorily guaranteed. The law was passed at the very end of the session of congress. Owing to the lateness of its passage congress was not able to provide proper equipment for the new department; and the first few months must necesarily be spent in the work of organization, and the first investigations must necessarily be of a tentative character. The satisfactory development of such a system requires time and great labor. Those who are intrusted with the administration ot the new law will assuredly administer it in a spirit of absolute fairness and justice and of entire fearlessness, with the firm purpose not to hurt any corporation doing a legimate business on the contrary to help It and, on the other hand, not to spare any corporation which may be guilty of illegal practices, or the methods of which may make it a menace to the public welfare. Some substantial good wiU be done In the immediate future; and as the department gets fairly to work under the law an ever larger vista for I good work will be opened along the lines indicated. The enactment of thi3 law Is one of the most significant! (Continued on Page Eight) CHICAGO EXCHANGE MAY BREAK UP The Agitation Over the Question of ; Puts and Calls. Chicago. April 3. As a result of the bitter fight that has sprung up in the Chicago board of trade over the question of "puts and calls" evidence has been laid before the grand jury tending to prove that several of the most prominent commission houses in the city-have been guilty of "bucket shop business" and the jury has voted seven indictments. No bills have be?n returned as yet, and this step will not be taken before tomorrow when the seven members will be called upon to give bonds for their appearance in court. Among the men against whom indictments have been voted are members of the leading and most wealthy commission houses in the city of ChTcago. The dispute among the members of the board of trade regarding the question of "puts and calls" has reached such a stage that 900 men, constituting a ma- jority, declare that unless thev shall ... .... . . secure wnr.t tney wisn in the way ov: an amendment to pending legislation they will force through the legislature ' such a bill as will result In closing the. ! doers of the board of trade. The 900 ' members have drafted an amendment j to the law passed in 1S74, which makes it a criminal offense to deal in grain for future delivery and such is still in effect. It thus prevents dealing In 'puts and calls" and the majority desires to deal in these. o AID FOR BONILLA. Panama. April 3. A dispatch from Honduras received by way of San Salvador announces that tomorrow CO.OOO men belonging to the forces of General Bonilla, the president-elect of Honduras, who is seeking to re-instate himself in the presidency, from which ho was? excluded- by the retiring President erra. will leave Comayagua, thirty- seven miles northwest of Tegucigalpa, to' reinforce General Bonilla's troops hieh are now bt-sieging Tegucigalpa. RELIGIOUS ORDERS BREAKING UP Under Presture by Police Agents Jof Paris. Paris. April Z. The Churc h of English Fassionist Fathers, which is attended by numerous Americans, was among the number visited today by police agents who served the Passionists with notice to dit-::-.rd. The Passionist Fathers have arranged to turn over their affairs to secular priests, who will continue to conduct the church. The members of the order are leaving the country or are retiring to private life. The MiU'ists. Dominicans. Ca.-vjchins, Bnrnabltc-s, Franciscans, Redemption-ists, Ora torians and Brothers of the Sacred Heart ar.-I of the Holy Cros c'.S" have been r.otifiod- to disband.

DEATH OF DWYER A YAQUI LEADER Former Arizona Cowboy and Newspaper Correspondent His Execution by Mexican Troops Often Eeported and as Often Denied Is Described by the Herald of the City of Mexico. Tucson, Ariz., April 3. The Mexican Herald publishes a report of the capture and execution of John Dyer, an Arizona cowboy and newspaper man, who is reputed to have recently proclaimed himself leader of the Yaquis in Sonora. The capture was made by the Fourth battalion of Mexican regulars near Bacum, state of Sonora, according to the Herald, and he was immediately tried by court-martial and sentenced to be shot at daylight. Dyer completely broke down and offered to betray the secret pians of the Yaquia and their whereabouts if his life were spared. When the hour for the execu- tion arrived two Mexican soldiers had to drag Dyer from his tent to the execution.Dyer during his brief leadership of the Yaquis earned the name of "El Rcnegado" on account of his alleged inhuman cruelty to Mexican women and white men. He is said to have hanged two Mexican women and one infant child in a public roadway for carrying provisions to a detachment of Mexican troops. Jack Gleeson, an American prospector, was caught by a band of Yaquis and taken to Dyer's camp, where, instead of receiving his I release as he expected, the story goes ' that he was shot dead by Dyer him self. Dyer was a for a time a newspaper correspondent at Cananea for a number of eastern and coast papers, and he sent out many sensational stories of alleged Yaqui uprisings. The capture and execution of Dyer has been sent out several times from various points on the Mexican border, but never was authenticated. While the latest story comes from a roundabout source, it is generally accepted here as true. o PLUMBERS' STRIKE OVER. It Had Had Only a Run of Three Days. Buffalo. N. Y.. April 3. This after- i noon the plumbers signed an agree-i ment covering the next three years, and tomorrow 1.000 men who have been on strike, for three days will return to ! work. The plumbers demand a minimum j wage of J3.50 a day and the enforce-; ment of a rule that only one apprentice be employed in any shop. The agree- ment concedes $3.50 a day to the men, but fixes that figure as both the maxi- mum and minimum wage for the next j tnree years. One apprentice may be ; employed to every three journeymen plumbers employed in any shop. I i STRIKING MINERS ENJOINED. San Francisco, Cal., April 3. United States Circuit Judge Morrow has Issued an injunction restraining the striking miners at Kestwick from interfering with the Mountain Copper company in their efforts to man the mine and smelters with non-union men. REBUILT BOTH. A Change in Food Can Do Wonders. When a change in food and drink will totally make over people it is worth while knowing the kind of food and drink used, particularly when in the making over, the old aches, ails and diseases are eliminated. A lady in Louisville, Neb., says: "Husband and I were both coffee drinkers. He was always troubled with dyspepsia and I had in addition, too, stomach trouble, serious bowel disorder and was so terribly nervous that 1 would scream at the slightest noise. "The pain in my stomach continued from morning till 3 to 4 o'clock in the afternoon. I was so tired all the time j and never could get rested, it was all I could do to drag about. My nervousness kept increasing until finally the doctor said I must be taken to a different climate because I was getting weaker all the time, and then could hardly walk across the room. "I had read many testimonials of th? good that Grape-Nuts and Postum Food Coffee were doing lor people, bu! never thought they applied to me. However, my ever kind husband one night brought home a package of each. I had tried to quit coffee, but every time a terrible pain would come in m;' head after each meal. "I had no faith in your food and drink helping me, but to please husband I tried the Food Coffee and the ninne-Nuts. Postum satisfied mv ! taste and I loved Grape-Nuts breakfast food with good cream. "In a day or two I began to improve. That was seven months ago. My improvement has been so steady that now instead of being a miserable, nervous wreck, l am a serous, neaitny woman weighing 140 pounds, can work from daylight till dark with a life and spring about me that I have never had. "I use two pounds of Grape-Nuts each week and drink Postum Food eonee iie-e a u, ...m expect to as long as I live, for it has been a god - send to me and mine. "Husband quit coffee and took up Postum when I did. His dyspepsia en tirely disappeared and he has never had a return of it." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. ANOTHER. CREVASSE. Serious Development of the Louisiana Flood Situation. New Orelans, La., April 3. The most serious development of the flood situation today was a break in the levee at Holy Broob plantation.ownerl by James J. Pittmen. The crevasse is about six miles below Lake Providence in Eust Carrol parish. The levee probably was eighteen feet in height, and no attempt will be made tr mend it. Efforts, hiw-ever, will be made to hold ends. Much valuable cotton land will be overflowed, but the damage will be principally in the delay in getting seed into the ground. The crevasse is repotted to be 500 feet wide. Parts of Tensas, Madison . Concordia, Cathoula and Richmon parishes, in addition to East Carrol, will be submerged, the water ultimately returning to the Mississippi river through Red river. The work of strengthening the crib work at Hymelia was continued throughout the day. Nc sign of weakness in the structure has yet appeared. It is hoped that the break will be mended early next week. BIG BITUMINOUS STRIKE. One of the Most Bitter in Pennsylvania Is On. Central Altoona, Pa., April 3. What promises to be one of the most bitterly contested strikes ever known in the central Pennsylvania bituminous coal re gions has been begun in the mines of the Lehigh Valley Coal company a Snowshoe, Pa. The men say the coal company is trying to destroy their union. ine company has retused to allow a check weighman on the tipple, although the presence of a check weighman is compulsory, according to state law, if the miners desire to put one there. The miners' officials also say the com pany has discharged fifty men for join ing the organization. National Presi dent Mitchell has wired District Presl dent Gilday to contest the strike to a finish. o SHORT LIVED SOGM IN SOUTHERN PACIFIC Based on a False Rumor of An Adjustment of the Quarrel. New York, April 3. The only local feature of interest today in the Southern Pacific controversy was a sharp recovery in the shares in the last hour. The rally seemed based on reports tlit J. Pie rpont Morgan had consented to settle matters by taking over the Keene holdings. These reports were promptly denied in every authoritative quarter, a member of the Morgan firm making this statement: "There is r.o truth whatever in the report that Mr. Morgan or the firm of J. Pierpcnt Morgan & Co. has taken over from James R. Keene or T. J. Taylor & Co. any Southern Pacific stock. We have no interest In the matter directly or indirectly, in any shape, manner or form." This statement, it was added, holds good indefinitely. Denials no less positive came from E. H. Harriman'f office and the banking house of Kuhn, Loeb & Co. Almost 40,000 shares of Southern Pacific changed hands during the day, the bulk of the trading taking place during the rally in the afternoon. After selling down to 5514 the stock advanced to 60"4 and closed at 5S, a net loss of ?b. Much of the selling during the morning session suggested forced liquidation. o DIM MICK CONVICTED. The Man Who Robbed the San Francisco Mint of ?30,C00. San Francisco, Cal., April 3. The third trial of Walter N. Dimmiek, former cashier of the United States mint in this city, on the charge of stealing S3O.C00 from the mint vaults, resulted today in his conviction. The jury was out all last night, one juror hanging out for acquittal. In the two previous trials the juries disagreed. Dimmiek will receive sentence next Wednesday. eight were killed in monterey riot The Trouble Precipitated by a Young Man Who Was Instantly Killed Monterey, Mex., April 3. Yesterday's riot which according to latest reports, resulted in the death of eight persons, two policemen and' six civilians and the injury of twenty others, was due to political canital beinar irste out of the celebration of General Diaz's victory. There have been no further disturbances. The cause of the riot is directly attributable to the cry of "Death to Reyes" which was raised gy a young man said- to be a student. No sooner had the cry been raided I than a policeman who stood near drew ' his revolver and Instantly killed the J man, thus precipitating the trouble, i The e'- ad- are: Camillio Villaneuva, a ! policeman: ApoHnio Partida, a police- man: Jose Rocha, civilian: Ernesto I C.alvun, civilian: Guwiloupe Esqueela, I civilian: Ancelmo Reina. a young man i who held a clerkship in one of the , o(rices of Governor Reyes. The names if the other two killed-cannot be learn- ed. The authorities have by prompt action, brought about quiet throughout the city and no further trouble is ex-nected to grow out of the affair. Full J confidence is expressed in the ability of General Reyes to master the situation. HONtNOTfflEMILLIONS Is What the Attorneys Say ing the Contestant 1 9-9 1.' Will Should Be Allowed .r the Home for the Poor of Colorado They Say nild Be the Dishonor of Stratton's Wife and His x "U'tive Son The Trial Begins to Disclose Unsavory In nts in the Life of the Dead Millionaire. Colorado Springs, Colo., April 3. The marriage of Winfield Scott Stratton and his brief wedded life was told th2 jury in the trial of I. II. Stratton, his son, to break the millionaire's will in the district court today. The opening addresses to the jury were dramatic. A crowded courtroom listened to th; statements. Harry Stratton was seated at one end of the long table used by counsel. Senator Patterson for the estate said that the issue from that standpoint is whether the vast estate shall be used for fulfilling the charitable purposes as outlined by the will or if it shall be turned over to "the possession of young Stratton, to be by him squandered and dissipated." Attorney C. Waterman of the coun sel for Harry Stratton said the issue of the contestant was "whether the honor of the son and mother shall be maintained and made whole, or whether the cornerstone of the edifice for the poor mentioned in the will will be founded on their dishonor." He sketched Stratton's married life, saying he had married Zura Stewart in Colorado Springs in July, 1STG. The child Harry was born two months afterwards in Toulon, Illinois, where the wife had been taken by Stratton and shortly afterwards deserted. BELATED SNOWSTORM. Great Inconvenience to Railroads Western 'Kansas. Topeka, Kan., April 3. The railroads are suffering serious inconvenience aa a result of a heavy snowstorm this morning. Telegraph wires are demoralized in the western part of the state, and a full report of the damages to the roads has not yet been made. In Topeka and west cf here the snowfall this morning amounted to nearly three Inches on the level. Wheat has been greatly helped, as the snow has rapidly melted and the weather has not been cold enough to do any damage. OKLAHOMA COLD WAVE. Guthrie, O. T., April 3. A severe storm passed over Oklahoma during last night and today, cutting off this city and practically all Oklahoma from the outside world. It began with a severe dust and wind storm, which in places obscured the heaven and earth for several minutes. A brief rain followed and suddenly the thermometer dropped twenty degrees and a cold wave with a high wind raged nearly all day. o AGAINST THE TREATY. Who Sees in It an Indignity to Colombia.Colon, April 3. Alejandro Orellac, one of the ministerial congressmen for the isthmus, announces that he is opposed to the acceptance of the Hay-Kerran Panama Canal convention, on the ground' that it is better to suffer poverty than indignity. He says that Colombia should do her utmost to facilitate the opening of the canal for the benefit of the world, but patriotism rejects the sale of a single foot of soil of the isthmus and scorns to allow a foreign government to exercise, its jurisdiction over territory received as a free legacy from her forefathers.

Two years afterward Stratton secured a divorce. Shortly after the marriage he had advertised the fact around Colorado Springs that his wife was enciente. The attorneys for the contestant will endeavor to prove that Stratton wa the boy's father. Attorneys for the estate introduced Orville L. Dines, William Lloyd and Dr. D. H. Rice, witnesses to the will, to prove the proper execution of the will. Senator Wolcott for the contestant desired tocross-examine Dr. Rice, who was the family physician of the millionaire, as to the life and habits of Stratton. Attorney C. J. Hughes Jr. objected on tha ground that the senator could only g into these matters brought out in direct examination. The objection was sustained. Wolcott expressed surprise at the ruling by pleading with the court that he should be permitted to cross-examine Dr. Rice in these matters as the physician was peculiarly in the position to state if Stratton was of sound or of unsound mind.

President Roosevelt was the guest of the Milwaukee Merchants and Manufacturers' association at a banquet at the Plank-ington house tonight, the occasion being the climax of the president's ten hours' visit to Milwaukee. Covers were laid for 530 representative citizens. A corps of skilled decorators had worked out a complete transformation of the banquet room which was fairly canopied with Alabama smilax rising from twelve chandeliers and, spreading out in graceful arches, met in all parts oi the room.

"The evil has been partly the inevi table' accompaniment of the social changes, and where this is the case it can be cured neither by law nor by the administration of the law, the only remedy lying in the slow change of economic environment. But for a portion of the evil, at least, we think that remedies can be found. We know well the danger of false remedies, and we are against all violent, radical, and unwise change. Rut we believe that by proceeding slowly, yet resolutely, with good sense and moderation, and also with a firm determination not to be swerved from our course either by foolish clamor or by any base or sinister influence, we can accomplish much for the betterment of conditions. Nearly two years ago, speaking a; the state fair in Minnesota, I said: " 'It is probably true that the large majority of the fortunes that now exist in this country have been amassed, not by injuring our people, but as an incident to the conferring of great benefits upon the community, and this, r.o matter what may have been the conscious purpose of those amassing them. There is but the scantiest justification for most of the outers' against the men of wealth as such; and it ought to be unnecessary to state that any appeal which directly or indirectly leads to suspicion and hatred among ourselves, which tends to limit opportunity, and therefore to shut the door cf success against poor men of talent, and, finally, which entails the possibility of lawlessness and violence, is an attack upon the fundamental properties of American citizenship. Our Interests are at bottom common; in the long run we go up or down together. Yet more and more it is evident that the state, and if necessary the nation, has got to possess the right of sup-ervi?ion arid control as regards the great corporations which are its creatures; particularly as regards the great business combinations which derive a portion of their importance from the existence of some monopolistic tendency. The risht should be exercised with caution and self-restraint; but it should exist, so that it may be invoked if the need arises.' THE ONLY REMEDY. "Last fall in speaking at Cincinnati. I said: " 'The necessary supervision and control, in which I firmly believe as the only method of eliminating the real evils of the trusts, must come through wisely and cautiously framed legislation, which shall aim in the first place to give dehnite control to some sover eign over the great corporations, and which shall be followed, when once this power has been conferred, by a system giving to the government the full knowledge which is the essential for satisfactory action. Then, when this knowledge one of the essential features of which is proper publicity has been gained, whai further stops of any kind are necessary can be taken with the confidence born of the possession of power to deal with the subject, and a thorough knowledge of what should and can be done in the matter. We need additional power, and we need knowledge. Such legislation whether obtainable only after a constitutional amendment should provide for a reasonable supervision, the most prominent feature of which at first should be publicity; that is, the making public-, both to the government authorities and to the people at large, the essential facts in which the public-is concerned. This would give us exact knowledge of many points which are now not only in doubt but the subject of herce controversy. r.ioreuve-r, the mere fact of the publication would ! cure some verv crave evils lYn- tho light of day is a deterrent to wrong doing. It would doubtless disclose other evils with which, for the tint being, we could devise no way to grapple. Finally, it would disclose others which cculd be grappled with and cured by further legislative action." "In my message to congress for 1901, I said: SUPERVISION. " 'In the interest of the whole people the nation should, without interfering with the power of the states in the matter, itself also assume power of supervision and regulation .over all corporations doing and interstate business.'"The views thus expressed have now received effect by the wise, conservative, and yet far-reaching legislation enacted by congress at its last session "In its wisdom congress enacted the very important law providing a department of commerce and labor, and further providing therein under the secretary of commerce and labor for a commissioner of corporations, charged with the duty and supervision cf and of making intelligent investigation into the organization and conduct of corporations engaged in interstate commerce. His powers to expose illegal cr hurtful practices and to obtain all information neadful for the purposes of further intelligent legislation seem adequate: and the publicity justifiable and proper for public purposes is satisfactorily guaranteed. The law was passed at the very end of the session of congress. Owing to the lateness of its passage congress was not able to provide proper equipment for the new department; and the first few months must necesarily be spent in the work of organization, and the first investigations must necessarily be of a tentative character. The satisfactory development of such a system requires time and great labor. Those who are intrusted with the administration ot the new law will assuredly administer it in a spirit of absolute fairness and justice and of entire fearlessness, with the firm purpose not to hurt any corporation doing a legimate business on the contrary to help It and, on the other hand, not to spare any corporation which may be guilty of illegal practices, or the methods of which may make it a menace to the public welfare. Some substantial good wiU be done In the immediate future; and as the department gets fairly to work under the law an ever larger vista for I good work will be opened along the lines indicated. The enactment of thi3 law Is one of the most significant! (Continued on Page Eight) CHICAGO EXCHANGE MAY BREAK UP The Agitation Over the Question of ; Puts and Calls. Chicago. April 3. As a result of the bitter fight that has sprung up in the Chicago board of trade over the question of "puts and calls" evidence has been laid before the grand jury tending to prove that several of the most prominent commission houses in the city-have been guilty of "bucket shop business" and the jury has voted seven indictments. No bills have be?n returned as yet, and this step will not be taken before tomorrow when the seven members will be called upon to give bonds for their appearance in court. Among the men against whom indictments have been voted are members of the leading and most wealthy commission houses in the city of ChTcago. The dispute among the members of the board of trade regarding the question of "puts and calls" has reached such a stage that 900 men, constituting a ma- jority, declare that unless thev shall ... .... . . secure wnr.t tney wisn in the way ov: an amendment to pending legislation they will force through the legislature ' such a bill as will result In closing the. ! doers of the board of trade. The 900 ' members have drafted an amendment j to the law passed in 1S74, which makes it a criminal offense to deal in grain for future delivery and such is still in effect. It thus prevents dealing In 'puts and calls" and the majority desires to deal in these. o AID FOR BONILLA. Panama. April 3.

DEATH OF DWYER A YAQUI LEADER Former Arizona Cowboy and Newspaper Correspondent His Execution by Mexican Troops Often Eeported and as Often Denied Is Described by the Herald of the City of Mexico. Tucson, Ariz., April 3. The Mexican Herald publishes a report of the capture and execution of John Dyer, an Arizona cowboy and newspaper man, who is reputed to have recently proclaimed himself leader of the Yaquis in Sonora. The capture was made by the Fourth battalion of Mexican regulars near Bacum, state of Sonora, according to the Herald, and he was immediately tried by court-martial and sentenced to be shot at daylight. Dyer completely broke down and offered to betray the secret pians of the Yaquia and their whereabouts if his life were spared. When the hour for the execu- tion arrived two Mexican soldiers had to drag Dyer from his tent to the execution.Dyer during his brief leadership of the Yaquis earned the name of "El Rcnegado" on account of his alleged inhuman cruelty to Mexican women and white men. He is said to have hanged two Mexican women and one infant child in a public roadway for carrying provisions to a detachment of Mexican troops. Jack Gleeson, an American prospector, was caught by a band of Yaquis and taken to Dyer's camp, where, instead of receiving his I release as he expected, the story goes ' that he was shot dead by Dyer him self. Dyer was a for a time a newspaper correspondent at Cananea for a number of eastern and coast papers, and he sent out many sensational stories of alleged Yaqui uprisings. The capture and execution of Dyer has been sent out several times from various points on the Mexican border, but never was authenticated. While the latest story comes from a roundabout source, it is generally accepted here as true. o PLUMBERS' STRIKE OVER. It Had Had Only a Run of Three Days. Buffalo. N. Y.. April 3. This after- i noon the plumbers signed an agree-i ment covering the next three years, and tomorrow 1.000 men who have been on strike, for three days will return to ! work. The plumbers demand a minimum j wage of J3.50 a day and the enforce-; ment of a rule that only one apprentice be employed in any shop. The agree- ment concedes $3.50 a day to the men, but fixes that figure as both the maxi- mum and minimum wage for the next j tnree years. One apprentice may be ; employed to every three journeymen plumbers employed in any shop. I i STRIKING MINERS ENJOINED. San Francisco, Cal., April 3. United States Circuit Judge Morrow has Issued an injunction restraining the striking miners at Kestwick from interfering with the Mountain Copper company in their efforts to man the mine and smelters with non-union men. REBUILT BOTH. A Change in Food Can Do Wonders. When a change in food and drink will totally make over people it is worth while knowing the kind of food and drink used, particularly when in the making over, the old aches, ails and diseases are eliminated. A lady in Louisville, Neb., says: "Husband and I were both coffee drinkers. He was always troubled with dyspepsia and I had in addition, too, stomach trouble, serious bowel disorder and was so terribly nervous that 1 would scream at the slightest noise. "The pain in my stomach continued from morning till 3 to 4 o'clock in the afternoon. I was so tired all the time j and never could get rested, it was all I could do to drag about. My nervousness kept increasing until finally the doctor said I must be taken to a different climate because I was getting weaker all the time, and then could hardly walk across the room. "I had read many testimonials of th? good that Grape-Nuts and Postum Food Coffee were doing lor people, bu! never thought they applied to me. However, my ever kind husband one night brought home a package of each. I had tried to quit coffee, but every time a terrible pain would come in m;' head after each meal. "I had no faith in your food and drink helping me, but to please husband I tried the Food Coffee and the ninne-Nuts. Postum satisfied mv ! taste and I loved Grape-Nuts breakfast food with good cream. "In a day or two I began to improve. That was seven months ago. My improvement has been so steady that now instead of being a miserable, nervous wreck, l am a serous, neaitny woman weighing 140 pounds, can work from daylight till dark with a life and spring about me that I have never had. "I use two pounds of Grape-Nuts each week and drink Postum Food eonee iie-e a u, ...m expect to as long as I live, for it has been a god - send to me and mine. "Husband quit coffee and took up Postum when I did. His dyspepsia en tirely disappeared and he has never had a return of it." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. ANOTHER. CREVASSE. Serious Development of the Louisiana Flood Situation. New Orelans, La., April 3. The most serious development of the flood situation today was a break in the levee at Holy Broob plantation.ownerl by James J. Pittmen. The crevasse is about six miles below Lake Providence in Eust Carrol parish. The levee probably was eighteen feet in height, and no attempt will be made tr mend it. Efforts, hiw-ever, will be made to hold ends. Much valuable cotton land will be overflowed, but the damage will be principally in the delay in getting seed into the ground. The crevasse is repotted to be 500 feet wide. Parts of Tensas, Madison . Concordia, Cathoula and Richmon parishes, in addition to East Carrol, will be submerged, the water ultimately returning to the Mississippi river through Red river. The work of strengthening the crib work at Hymelia was continued throughout the day. Nc sign of weakness in the structure has yet appeared. It is hoped that the break will be mended early next week. BIG BITUMINOUS STRIKE. One of the Most Bitter in Pennsylvania Is On. Central Altoona, Pa., April 3. What promises to be one of the most bitterly contested strikes ever known in the central Pennsylvania bituminous coal re gions has been begun in the mines of the Lehigh Valley Coal company a Snowshoe, Pa. The men say the coal company is trying to destroy their union. ine company has retused to allow a check weighman on the tipple, although the presence of a check weighman is compulsory, according to state law, if the miners desire to put one there. The miners' officials also say the com pany has discharged fifty men for join ing the organization. National Presi dent Mitchell has wired District Presl dent Gilday to contest the strike to a finish. o SHORT LIVED SOGM IN SOUTHERN PACIFIC Based on a False Rumor of An Adjustment of the Quarrel. New York, April 3. The only local feature of interest today in the Southern Pacific controversy was a sharp recovery in the shares in the last hour. The rally seemed based on reports tlit J. Pie rpont Morgan had consented to settle matters by taking over the Keene holdings. These reports were promptly denied in every authoritative quarter, a member of the Morgan firm making this statement: "There is r.o truth whatever in the report that Mr. Morgan or the firm of J. Pierpcnt Morgan & Co. has taken over from James R. Keene or T. J. Taylor & Co. any Southern Pacific stock. We have no interest In the matter directly or indirectly, in any shape, manner or form." This statement, it was added, holds good indefinitely. Denials no less positive came from E. H. Harriman'f office and the banking house of Kuhn, Loeb & Co. Almost 40,000 shares of Southern Pacific changed hands during the day, the bulk of the trading taking place during the rally in the afternoon. After selling down to 5514 the stock advanced to 60"4 and closed at 5S, a net loss of ?b. Much of the selling during the morning session suggested forced liquidation. o DIM MICK CONVICTED. The Man Who Robbed the San Francisco Mint of ?30,C00. San Francisco, Cal., April 3. The third trial of Walter N. Dimmiek, former cashier of the United States mint in this city, on the charge of stealing S3O.C00 from the mint vaults, resulted today in his conviction.

Dimmiek will receive sentence next Wednesday. eight were killed in monterey riot The Trouble Precipitated by a Young Man Who Was Instantly Killed Monterey, Mex., April 3. Yesterday's riot which according to latest reports, resulted in the death of eight persons, two policemen and' six civilians and the injury of twenty others, was due to political canital beinar irste out of the celebration of General Diaz's victory. There have been no further disturbances. The cause of the riot is directly attributable to the cry of "Death to Reyes" which was raised gy a young man said- to be a student. No sooner had the cry been raided I than a policeman who stood near drew ' his revolver and Instantly killed the J man, thus precipitating the trouble, i The e'- ad- are: Camillio Villaneuva, a ! policeman: ApoHnio Partida, a police- man: Jose Rocha, civilian: Ernesto I C.alvun, civilian: Guwiloupe Esqueela, I civilian: Ancelmo Reina. a young man i who held a clerkship in one of the , o(rices of Governor Reyes. The names if the other two killed-cannot be learn- ed. The authorities have by prompt action, brought about quiet throughout the city and no further trouble is ex-nected to grow out of the affair. Full J confidence is expressed in the ability of General Reyes to master the situation. HONtNOTfflEMILLIONS Is What the Attorneys Say ing the Contestant 1 9-9 1.' Will Should Be Allowed .r the Home for the Poor of Colorado They Say nild Be the Dishonor of Stratton's Wife and His x "U'tive Son The Trial Begins to Disclose Unsavory In nts in the Life of the Dead Millionaire. Colorado Springs, Colo., April 3. The marriage of Winfield Scott Stratton and his brief wedded life was told th2 jury in the trial of I. II. Stratton, his son, to break the millionaire's will in the district court today. The opening addresses to the jury were dramatic. A crowded courtroom listened to th; statements. Harry Stratton was seated at one end of the long table used by counsel. Senator Patterson for the estate said that the issue from that standpoint is whether the vast estate shall be used for fulfilling the charitable purposes as outlined by the will or if it shall be turned over to "the possession of young Stratton, to be by him squandered and dissipated." Attorney C. Waterman of the coun sel for Harry Stratton said the issue of the contestant was "whether the honor of the son and mother shall be maintained and made whole, or whether the cornerstone of the edifice for the poor mentioned in the will will be founded on their dishonor." He sketched Stratton's married life, saying he had married Zura Stewart in Colorado Springs in July, 1STG. The child Harry was born two months afterwards in Toulon, Illinois, where the wife had been taken by Stratton and shortly afterwards deserted. BELATED SNOWSTORM. Great Inconvenience to Railroads Western 'Kansas. Topeka, Kan., April 3. The railroads are suffering serious inconvenience aa a result of a heavy snowstorm this morning. Telegraph wires are demoralized in the western part of the state, and a full report of the damages to the roads has not yet been made. In Topeka and west cf here the snowfall this morning amounted to nearly three Inches on the level. Wheat has been greatly helped, as the snow has rapidly melted and the weather has not been cold enough to do any damage. OKLAHOMA COLD WAVE. Guthrie, O. T., April 3. A severe storm passed over Oklahoma during last night and today, cutting off this city and practically all Oklahoma from the outside world. It began with a severe dust and wind storm, which in places obscured the heaven and earth for several minutes. A brief rain followed and suddenly the thermometer dropped twenty degrees and a cold wave with a high wind raged nearly all day. o AGAINST THE TREATY. Who Sees in It an Indignity to Colombia.Colon, April 3. Alejandro Orellac, one of the ministerial congressmen for the isthmus, announces that he is opposed to the acceptance of the Hay-Kerran Panama Canal convention, on the ground' that it is better to suffer poverty than indignity. He says that Colombia should do her utmost to facilitate the opening of the canal for the benefit of the world, but patriotism rejects the sale of a single foot of soil of the isthmus and scorns to allow a foreign government to exercise, its jurisdiction over territory received as a free legacy from her forefathers.

Is Worry- to Stand, the Corner Stone The attorney told how Stratton at the point of a revolver had been forced to leave the room when quarreling with Mrs. Stratton, and recited other acts of cruelty. Two years afterward Stratton secured a divorce. Shortly after the marriage he had advertised the fact around Colorado Springs that his wife was enciente. The attorneys for the contestant will endeavor to prove that Stratton wa the boy's father. Attorneys for the estate introduced Orville L. Dines, William Lloyd and Dr. D. H. Rice, witnesses to the will, to prove the proper execution of the will. Senator Wolcott for the contestant desired tocross-examine Dr. Rice, who was the family physician of the millionaire, as to the life and habits of Stratton. Attorney C. J. Hughes Jr. objected on tha ground that the senator could only g into these matters brought out in direct examination. The objection was sustained. Wolcott expressed surprise at the ruling by pleading with the court that he should be permitted to cross-examine Dr. Rice in these matters as the physician was peculiarly in the position to state if Stratton was of sound or of unsound mind.
